The mark-up kit, as a rule, does not exceed $ 100, but at the same time it allows you to get identical discount for the purchase of the kit from the AMD Ryzen 7 1700X / 1800X processor and one of the three motherboards based on AMD X399 set In addition, the kit buyer can save $ 200 on the purchase of a 34-inch Samsung CF791 monitor with FreeSync support.

Finally, in separate regions, two games are listed for free.

"Package offers" will operate for a limited time, their main task is to attract more amateurs to the AMD platform.

POSTER: computer news || THE OVERCLOCKED VERSION OF TESLA MODEL 3 WILL BE RELEASED NEXT YEAR

DATE:2017-07-31

As we found out at the end of last week, the Tesla Model S in its initial complete sets with batteries of different capacity and drive on only one axle can accelerate to 96 km / h in 5.1 seconds, and the maximum speed of this electric car can reach 224 km / h. By the beginning of the week, Ilon Mask not only published a photo of the interior of the expensive Tesla Model 3 with the roof of the athermal glass and the inserts on the front panel "under the tree", but also confirmed the intention
to release an accelerated version of the electric vehicle with a drive on both axles.

By the way, the "single" deflector of the cooling system is able to regulate the flow direction both in the vertical plane and in the horizontal plane.

Recall that before October this year, Tesla Model 3 will be available only in a "rich" bundle at a cost of not less than $ 49 000, and this right is granted only to employees of the company. Tesla encourages everyone to buy Tesla Model S or Model X, even with the goal of "moving forward" on the Tesla Model 3. As recently confirmed by Ilon Mask, the all-wheel drive Tesla Model S 75D remains in service.

The all-wheel drive version of the Tesla Model 3 debuts in the spring of next year, and the head of the company confirms that it will be offered in the "accelerated" version, capable of accelerating faster than 96 km / h.

Already the fastest available modifications of the Tesla Model 3 are gaining 96 km / h in 5.1 seconds. In the current year, the range of electric vehicle modifications will be limited due to optimization of production processes. Even the Tesla Model S has been translated into "package" options to unify the assortment.

The so-called AMD Day continues, however, already under the direction of another author. In addition to the official announcement of the prices and the date of the release of the Ryzen Threadripper processors, AMD within the framework of Capsaicin SIGGRAPH 2017 also demonstrated the overclocking potential of these processors, allowing several overclockers to spend time with the novelties in a familiar manner, TechPowerUp informs.

The enthusiasts managed to overclock all sixteen cores of the Ryzen Threadripper 1950X processor up to 5.2 GHz using liquid nitrogen, by increasing the multiplier of the clock to x52 at its standard frequency of 100 MHz. And on this very rather big for such a processor frequency, the novelty managed to pass Cinebench R15, and also set a record for 16-core processors - 4122 points. It is reported that the previous record was only 2867 points, while a similar result was achieved only on 28 cores.

According to the CPU-Z utility, the voltage on the core was 1.16 V, which seems unlikely, and most likely this value was closer to 1.5 V. We also note that four-channel memory with a frequency of 2133 MHz was used for the purity of the experiment.

AMD company at the event Capcaicin SIGGRAPH 2017 presented not only the video card Radeon RX Vega 56 and various versions of Radeon RX Vega 64, but also the Radeon RX Vega Nano card expected by many, which demonstrates one of the key advantages of HBM2 memory - high density of placement, due to Which is possible to provide a very compact dimensions of the video card.

According to our colleagues from TechPowerUp , Raja Koduri, senior vice president of AMD Radeon Technology Group, demonstrated on the stage one of the few ready-to-use samples of the novelty, and handed it to Tim Sweeney, the founder of Epic Games and the creator Unreal Engine. Apparently, this video card will be released later, since AMD has just shown it to the public, but did not disclose the characteristics.

This video card is the successor released two years ago by Radeon R9 Nano, which at one time became the best compact video card, so AMD simply could not help but imagine such a solution on Vega. The novelty, apparently has a length of about 14 - 16 cm. It has one 8-pin power connector, which indicates its lower power consumption, compared with the full-size novelties on Vega (approximately 150 watts). A cooling system with one axial fan covered by a silver casing, like the Radeon RX Vega
64 Limited Edition. The set of video outputs is the same as for larger models - three DisplayPort and one HDMI.
